[YouTube-API] Re: Allow all comments with approval only??

Hi Jeff,

I've tried this for myself and it didn't work. I've posted my issue on StackOverflow. If you could take a look, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Actually, if you don't want to take a look on StackOverflow, here's everything that's there pasted into here:

I have a video on YouTube which I have uploaded which I wish to change yt:accessControls on (particularly comment moderating). I've looked at the YouTube API Reference here and here, but I can't seem to get it updating properly. Here's my code:

//Strings declared beforehand: appName, developerId, username, password, and vidId.
YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService(appName, developerId);
service.setUserCredentials(username, password);


String videoEntryUrl = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads/" + vidId;
VideoEntry createdEntry = service.getEntry(new URL(videoEntryUrl), VideoEntry.class);


String originalXMLBlob = createdEntry.getXmlBlob().getBlob();


String atomXml = "<?xml version='1.0'?><entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' gd:fields='yt:accessControl' xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/ schemas/2007'><yt:accessControl action='comment' permission='moderated'/></entry>";


GDataRequest request = service.createPatchRequest(new URL(createdEntry.getEditLink().getHref()));
request.getRequestStream().write(atomXml.getBytes("UTF-8"));
request.execute();
createdEntry = service.parseResponseData(request, VideoEntry.class);


String newXMLBlob = createdEntry.getXmlBlob().getBlob().substring(49);
//The substring(49) is because after you do a service.parseResponseData... it attaches a timestamp to the xmlBlob. To properly compare whether these are the same in the printlns I substring it.


System.out.println(newXMLBlob.equals(originalXMLBlob));
System.out.println(originalXMLBlob);
System.out.println(newXMLBlob);
createdEntry.update();
createdEntry.update();


newXMLBlob = createdEntry.getXmlBlob().getBlob().substring(49);
System.out.println(newXMLBlob.equals(originalXMLBlob));
System.out.println(originalXMLBlob);
System.out.println(newXMLBlob);
System.out.println("Done");

The output is:

true
<yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='comment'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='commentVote'/><yt:accessControl permission='moderated' action='videoRespond'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='rate'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='embed'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='list'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='autoPlay'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='syndicate'/>
<yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='comment'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='commentVote'/><yt:accessControl permission='moderated' action='videoRespond'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='rate'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='embed'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='list'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='autoPlay'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='syndicate'/>
true
<yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='comment'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='commentVote'/><yt:accessControl permission='moderated' action='videoRespond'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='rate'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='embed'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='list'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='autoPlay'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='syndicate'/>
<yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='comment'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='commentVote'/><yt:accessControl permission='moderated' action='videoRespond'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='rate'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='embed'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='list'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='autoPlay'/><yt:accessControl permission='allowed' action='syndicate'/>
Done

The important thing is that nothing changed from start to finish. You can see I even tried doing createdEntry.update(); but that doesn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Oh, and one last thing. I would like my atomXml to be able to set access controls to multiple things (video responses, rating, etc.). I'm guessing you just add more yt:accessControl tags, but in answering, if you have any tips about that, I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

Hello Hector,

 What you want to do is add an yt:accessControl element to the video
entry, with an action attribute of "comment" and a permission
attribute of "moderated". I don't believe that there is native support
for the yt:accessControl element in the Java client library yet, so
this would have to be done "by hand". Here's some example code that
assumes you've just created a new video, and then performs a partial
update to set the yt:accessControl value for that video:

    // ...snip code from the developer's guide for creating a new
video...
    VideoEntry createdEntry = service.insert(new URL(uploadUrl),
newEntry);

    String atomXml = "<?xml version='1.0'?><entry xmlns='http://
www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'
gd:fields='yt:accessControl' xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/
schemas/2007'><yt:accessControl action='comment'
permission='moderated'/></entry>";
    GDataRequest request = service.createPatchRequest(new
URL(createdEntry.getEditLink().getHref()));
    request.getRequestStream().write(atomXml.getBytes("UTF-8"));
    request.execute();
    createdEntry = service.parseResponseData(request,
VideoEntry.class);
    // createdEntry now contains the updated VideoEntry, and the
access control should be set on it.
